Tremendous thanks to Magnus and the amazing team at Chesscom for helping put this together and shoot it! :)
Gotham never fails to include magnus in his comments
Levy never fails to put chess in Gotham chess videos
s
Magnus is so young - I'm jealous lol
Thank you Levy for the natural eyes. Your eyes in the WIRED video just feel uncanny somehow
Bro finally interviewed his source of income 💀

What the hell🤣🤣🤣

Send game to levi let him roast u 💀
Bro really thought he was Magnus fr💀
real
This interview unlocked another Magnus character:
1. Magnus
2. Drunk Magnus
3. Late Magnus
4. NEW - Relaxed Magnus
ok
@@Sad_Keanu ??
Hi kota@@Sad_Keanu
DrDeunkenstien
This was fantastic and the most relaxed I’ve seen Magnus!
Probably because he didn’t feel threatened 😅
👨🏽🍼
I've not seem him this relaxed since he played anonymous Gotham online.
Two all-time greats 🤩
i eat my own chess pieces
He eats his own chess pieces @@place-holder5221
Chess, google, and minecraft? what a world
I also eat my own chess pieces
Torald and Kallax?
All jokes aside, I'm really happy for Levy that he got to interview Magnus. That's a pretty big accomplishment for him and his channel, and he did a really good job as the interviewer.
❤
❤️ (if you see this reply ❤️ idk who will see this but hopefully someone will)
Given the size of his channel, this is not a "big accomplishment" anymore.
The dude is literally making more money beside 1 maybe 2 chess players.
He is more known. And for 99.9% of the public he is much more important chess figure than any chess player.
@@bobobububu if I think of chess I would still think of Magnus
@@bobobububu This! People do not realize how big Levy is. And how big he is for chess. I think there are quite a few top GMs who envy his career choice.
its always nice for Magnus to include Gotham in his videos
Underrated! 😂
It’s comments like this that I tune in for
@@anashashim Elo rated comment
this comment isi so underrated, and needs way more likes than this for sure !!! 🤣😂🤣😂
Nice to see Gotham helping smaller youtubers get the exposure they deserve
Magnus actually looks like he’s enjoying this interview compared to any other.
Chess player or Ikea Furniture is something definitely way up his alley
I bet magnus and levy would be buds tbh, levy just has to tone down the fan girl energy and itd click
exactly what i thought
I totally agree, Magnus usually, not always but usually seems impatient and or annoyed during most interviews, but not this one
Levy made him sweat. Look at those pit stains @14:50
I wasn't expecting that. Magnus looked like he enjoyed the interview and was happy to be there. Top marks to the interviewer and interviewee.
he seems a little less annoyed than normally yes
Probably because the questions were kind of silly intentionally and because it's a little more a laid back environment than his usual interviews
@@LittleCrowYT Chess interviewing is hard. What is there to talk about? The chess speaks for itself.
To be fair to magnus he's seemingly a fun-loving guy who happens to take his job seriously. I think being interviewed by a chess player who is also known for being quite silly and has a history of being silly with magnus helps
Yeah, him saying he likes the attention from Levy's videos meant a lot, that he was happy to be there. Also fully admitting you're a narcissist takes some self awareness and is oddly humble.
I like that you made it such a relaxed and fun talk and didn't try to make it super-intellectual like most would. It was a down-to-earth let's get to know the guy behind the board a bit and I feel like I got more out of it than most other interviews I've seen with him. Thanks to Magnus for spending the time.
Magnus is competitive at the weirdest things... he was very committed on the ikea-chess player challenge.
A competitive nature. Best athletes are the most competitive.
Elite athletes r gonna be naturally more competitive than almost anyone. Kobe Ronaldo Brady Tiger etc
Imagine meeting the person considered to be the best in something you dedicated your whole life to, must be a surreal experience, Magnus must be truly happy that he finally got to meet Levy
😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣love this comment
Best comment I've read all day
levi should collab more with this magnus guy , he seems great chess player
lmfao
It’s not often you meet your childhood hero but…I think Magnus handled it very well 👏
I don’t think Gotham is his hero I think it’s messi
Same comment 100 times under every video
@@bigdog2432 r/woosh
This joke is not yours but ok! Happy if you are
@@vianouche1bro thinks jokes are owned by people
Levi : what do you mean it sounds Swedish?
Magnus : what do you mean what do you mean?
I like how comfortable Magnus looks here.. Levy just has that media personality and the questions were entertaining..
Thank you keep making Chess bigger ❤
“How do you get energised?”
“The sun”
I knew he photosynthesised 😂
Cholecalciferol synthesis :)
He is a plant
Happy to hear I'm not the only one who functions better without caffeine (barring I don't get enough sleep), and prefer water
The surprising truth is revealed in unexpected situations. Vitamin D from UVB, nitric oxide from UVA, morning blue light for ipRGC-SCN circadian entrainment and for night time pineal melatonin, infrared-A for daytime mitochondrial melatonin recycling ... Animals photosynthesise. Light beings.
Might be a reference to superman
Love to see the passion in this video from Levy, you can really tell he loves what he does, this why we love him and his content. Very happy for you and congrats on getting to sit down with Magnus!!
What an enjoyable interview to watch! You were a great interviewer with your fun questions and remarks, and Magnus was a great interviewee with his receptive attitude and long answers. You both seemed very relaxed and were vibing with each other. Great job, Levy!
Magnus was so awestruck by Gotham that he even forgot his name at the start of the interview
Haha yeah but he gathred himself and delivered impressive results with chess player or Ikea furniture though.
Actually, Magnus seems way more relaxed and enjoying the interview than I would've thought. Nice, Levy!
So nice of levy to interview people new to chess such as this mango cargo guy
I know right! It looks like this new mango cargo guy may one day be one of the best players soon
This mango cargo guy is so lucky to be interviewed by levy he will probably be top chess player in the world soon!
Very nice interview, lovely to see you being recognised in chess circles for all you do. You single-handedly got me back into the game and keep me in it.
Loved this! Loved the interruption for clarification too. Would’ve personally liked to see more tips but overall great vid
You can tell magnus is pretty comfortable here- he's enjoying the more laid back and unique questions. At least from what I see. Great interview, Levy. Nailed it.
I thought it was strange he had a shout out to MJ for a sponsor, then said Lebron was the goat?
@@captaindein33you alright lad ?
@@Gweebino he is right...
That would decrease his chance of getting a sponsor from Jordan
Not a smart move from Magnus
Magnus feels quite arrogant and down to earth at the same time, what an interesting character. Love how you can feel Levy being really careful not to let out his true self during these questions lol
Sure is an intresting character. I guess knowing you just are the best of something in the world makes it seem arrogant when talking?
Hard to behave in an interview (he's no actor). But he loosen up mid-event. I think he's ok. Also, he's Norwegian (AKA East European), so very different culture and style. I mean, I've seen this before (how people perceive ≠ cultures).
Also also, I guess he knows his worth too. Compare him with, let's say, Hans Niemann (no real awards, tons of "attitude").
@@fragile1143He's simply stating the truth when he says he's the best. On a good day, nobody beats him in classical.
Only on his worst days, can people defeat him.
He is so much better than any other human in the world, that he doesn't look down on his main rivals, he can just accurately assess their strength and his win chances at any given time against them
In my opinion, he'd only be arrogant if he said he stands a chance against stockfish, α0 and the likes.
He isn't arrogant at all
Magnus is what happens when you're the best in the world at something and you don't put on a faux humility about it. It appears he has a very matter of fact personality which logically seems like a good fit for playing chess.
Honestly, one of the best interviewes with Magnus I've seen. Well done and thank you for that, Sir!
I like how the interview feels natural and not forced, very enjoyable and well prepared:)
If only the interview was longer. I loved this
EXACTLY
You wish Magnus Carlson was longer?
@@WyWidWhy not?
@@WyWidYes
@@WyWidnot funny bro
Its always nice to see an interview done by an expert that can get something unique out of interview-exhausted stars. This is one of those times. Well done Levy

@@juristankiewicz4720le VI 😂
@@juristankiewicz4720 is he spelled with a y? Ill correct it
@@Intelligenzbestie Levi is a meme name we call him by because its such a common mistake and it gets him annoyed xD
Yup this was great, chess interviews remind me of sports interviews, the same questions every time and bland answers that mean absolutely nothing. This was a good escape from that
That was so much fun to watch :) I love when someone famous like magnus gets asked just normal everyday questions so we can learn more about them as a person and not just a player.
Pausing the video in between to add this comment
I don't usually click like button on videos but the way you understood the complexity of Magnus's answer regarding "when he thought he became the world's best player" and then transitioning from the interview to you explaining it was superb!
He must be so happy to finally meet the greatest of all time. Magnus is so lucky
I honestly dont understand how the same joke got 2k likes
Same damn comments in every Magnus video 🥱
❤
very creative hahah gj!!
😂
Levy is definitely a chess player of all time.
It seems like Magnus genuinely enjoyed the interview!
You both looked so chill in that interview. Great stuff.... can't wait for the next installment of Beyond the 64 Squares. ;)
this was a super fresh interview, Magnus usually seems annoyed in most interviews but he seemed happy and enjoyed the unconventional questions. good job Levy 👍
Because the jokes are getting repititive, I want to say that I'm glad that you are doing so well Levy. You are the one that got me and a few friends of mine into chess (even if some stopped playing after a while) and helped me see games of strategy like chess in a different light. Thank you so much for the content you put out, and even though I know you won't read this, I hope you keep giving us fun chess content
I read it. :)

"Ikea furniture or chess player" is a great game for anyone who is *not* from a scandinavian country lol. Love how surprised levi was at Magnus telling him Söderström sounds swedish XD
Now magnus need a IKEA sponsorship
I really enjoyed this interview, Levy! It definitely was the right mix of serious and goofy.
I remember you once made a comment joking about offering Magnus some payment for a day of photoshoots for thumbnails. I was a little surprised considering the playful tone of the interview that you didn't offer! What a blown opportunity! xD
Magnus never fails to include Gotham in his videos or something like that
Magnus is such a big fan of Gotham
A thing like that
Hahaha funny even after 1000 times what a timeless joke
true.
😐
Levy is such a legend - top level chess has never been so close to the fans - would love to see you joining the commentary teams more often for big tournaments
YESSSS!!! Levy commentating!!! more people would watch!!!!
And when he will say THE ROOOOKKK!!!!
Very entertaining interview! Props for being able to make content with the legend too. You deserve it after working so hard
Magnus has been Levy's source of income since 2020
tbf the last quiz would be as easy/dificult for most scandinavians. nice interview, and nice to see magnus in this setting as well.
As a norwegian, is it really special to see how much this means to people. He is so close to the hearts of us norwegians, providing countless personal interviews and in-depth comments on Norwegian-TV. So, it's great to see how much a single interview means to people, especially when we are getting spoiled 😂
Vet du om det er mulig å se på disse intervjuene hvis man ikke bor i Norge? (Not Norwegian, hope that sentence was correct)
I can translate one to norwegian if you want
@@eierauskrebs9874 iam not sure, i belive you can see things on NRK (mainly the main championships in long, rapid and blitz) with a VPN, and Tv2 for the Chess tour/norway chess. He always gives raw thoughts about his performance after the games. Sadly i belive that they are not texted
These interviews are translated into English or not?
He lived in Finland as a child so he's ours! Ok, we'll share.
Gotham looks like that small child that just saw his favourite celebrity. Hands down, the best chess interview I've ever seen after, *Chess speaks for itself*.
He is even dressed like one!
Facts
What an amazing interview!! thanks for the explanations and everything you are doing for us i needed that 😅
Props to Levy for using his massive platform to cover an up and coming chess player
It's not often Magnus doesn't seem utterly bored in an interview! I was smiling the whole video! Hope you get another chance again someday. 😊
Same smiled throughout the video 😂
Reall.
Levy never fails to be an absolute master of content creation. This interview format with cuts added for context should be the new standard. Congratulations on all the success, Gotham.
Get off levy’s lap
@@zachp2120 No.
@@zachp2120ong bro glazing 😂😂
This is the content that the Chess community needed! I know this was huge for you Levy and it was for us as well! The GOAT player and The GOAT content creator in one room!
Levy, you're fkin awesome man! Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. I legit feel so happy for you getting to interview Magnus and I was lowkey hoping this would be the case when you first said you're traveling there in the first place! You deserve it and more!
Typically the employer will interview the employee, but this is a revolutionary new take on job interviews! Great job Levy!
🤣🤣🤣
💀
I feel like you could see Magnus relax throughout the interview.Really enjoyable, casual chat and congrats on getting to meet him !
12:18 as someone who speaks swedish, that "Söderström" was said so good Omg😭 even though he is a Norwegian, he can mimic the swedish accent.
For me, this was refreshing to see a side of Magnus separate from the headlines and regular post-game interviews.
I really like how Levy seems to really listen to what Magnus is saying! He doesn't just prepare his next question like many other interviewers often do!
he on face to face with his crush wym?? of course levy wouldn't miss a single thing💀💀
@@whthppndbruh-
@@whthppnd bro are you serio-
Dude, I'm happy for you. Just straight up. That must be such a cool feeling to just sit and chat with Magnus.
I remember bilbao 2008 magnus at 17s. Yeah for sure hell be the best of the world at that time. Could be champion at 2010. Kaspa at coach.
LOVED this. one of my favorite interviews with him
loved the interruption to explain Carlsen's answer. LOVED your humble and knowledgeable approach. Well done!
Honestly a really good interview. I’m sure Magnus gets bored with corporate family friendly style interviews, asking a mix of fun questions openly swearing, these small things make a difference! Great stuff man
Agreed! I feel like Magnus usually sounds like he doesn't want to be there in interviews; didn't get that vibe in this interview at all
Great interview. Congrats on all of the success Levy. Well deserved 🙏🏽
Great Interview, as an Octogenarian, I've enjoyed chess all my life. short stint in tourneys in my youth. Always been facianted by the game, the players. the masters. world renowned, and just the plain "joe. I loved the relaxed atmosphere of the interview both by you and Magnus. even thought he admits to Narcissism. he is still humble in his own way. great champion, player, and all around guy. thanks to Magnus to let us see him "behind" the cloak. and for sharing really enjoyed this. ECF
How did he handle meeting the greatest chess player of all time… Magnus is brave!

Hey Levy, great interview, congratulations on your success! Do you ever think of Interviewing more chess pros? I think it would be great if we saw more of them in this kind format
Hugely professional interview and you've carved a new niche as a top commentator on the circuit.
I actually enjoyed this interview a lot. You got him to open up more than most do. You also did a great job, providing color commentary for the tournament. I only started playing chess this past June at the age of 63, I’m a 530 elo 😢 and I never thought I would be so riveted watching a match. I watch a lot of your videos so hopefully I will improve with time.
Don't be too oriented on the ELO number when you play, just focus on "I want to learn something from this one game, idgaf about the ELO" mindset. Wish you the best!
Rock on grandpa 💪❤️ much love and appreciation.
I can't recommend John Bartholomew's Chess fundamental series enough. Five videos that will help you improve A LOT. I promise.
Kallax is literally one of the most popular Ikea pieces of all time. Very surprised he missed that one
Only normal people and apparently Ibrahimovic knows about ikea furnitures
Guy is a multimillionaire probably doesnt shop at Ikea lol
@@andrewdostie9123All kinds like Ikea. Even multi millionaires take their kids for meatballs and a stroll through the store. Last time I was there I parked my Benz next to a Lambo. :)
Blud is into Ikeaology
might be a pronunciation thing, since magnus is scandinavian and levy is welp, a yank
I loved this interview., wish it was longer!
Glad you finally got to meet and interview Magnus. So dope!
This was a great interview, made Magnus’ personality stand out a bit more than regular interviews. Also the context provided on when he considered himself the best chess player on the planet was incredibly appreciated. I didn’t really know the timeline, as I’m more of a casual chess player.
Furniture never fails to include Levy in its videos
Underrated comment
Actually a good one for once lol
Hi levy i definitely enjoyed this coversation, so exciting to see you talking to Magnus ❤
Magnus is a treasure chest of knowledge and wisdom!!! Thank you for the interview!!! 😇
The Titles chess player or Ikea furniture concept is so hilarious.
I didn't get what it was when Levy first mentioned it, but I cracked up after understanding what was going on lmao
Salute for Lucy for coming up with this genius idea!

Kallax getting the recognition he deserved.
This was too short! Loved the interview and how relaxed both were.
the fact he said "ft. GothamChess" like he was making a cameo on his own channel 💀💀
Magnus impressed me with his modesty. He praised Gary Casparov as the greatest chess player ever and spoke humbly throughout the interview.
Agreed, but also honestly about himself which can be very challenging to toe the line between being honest and realistic about yourself whilst still being respectful and realistic. Obvious false modesty in interviews can be frustrating but he spoke without fault, genuinely enjoyed this.
“There’s a fine line between confidence and arrogance…..
and I walk it well.”

Holospace?
Levy could you make a video about bodhana sivanandan's recent match in Zagreb? At only 8 years old she was the Women's champion in that event, she defeated an IM and broke the record for youngest player ever to draw against a GM. She may be the next Judit Polgar and it would be fascinating to hear your analysis of her games.
Good idea
"She defeated an IM and broke the record for youngest player ever to draw against a GM"
As Kramnik likes to say: Interesting

One of the greatest interviews with Magnus ever
Классное интервью получилось! Очень живое и интересное. Побольше бы таких интервью!
Really fun interview 😄 And thanks for adding that honesty that you so gracefully deliver
Magnus has so much respect for Fabiano. It was a surprise that Magnus thinks Garry is the goat and not himself. All in all, great interview!
Well Garry was his master when he was a kid (don’t know if master is the right word but the concept is there)

It's always a pleasure to see a good commentator and entertainer interview one of his favorite athletes and (the top most used name) in his thumbnails , great video guys , i love you
Congratulations, Levi! This interview is probably the Gotham highlight thus far! You made it!
The looks on their faces at 1:06 after that joke is so great. Thanks for the interview and the content. Appreciate you guys.
Jokes aside I'm sure Magnus is happy to get an interview where the questions are actually thought provoking instead of just random questions that make no sense.
I see what you did there 🤣
"How does the knight move?"
“Do you plan on sharing any of your birthday cake?”
@@KoleKre classic
Amazing interview. The question about realization of him being the best in the world is a really perspective bending question. Love it.
Great to see Gotham interview a struggling streamer who isn’t in the Candidates

I love that gotham is bringing these new up and coming chess players into the light. I can’t wait to see what this new generation of chess players is gonna look like.
